Bella Band?

Jessicamz · April 2010

Who uses one of these? I'm thinking it may be time to get one! I'm not ready for maternity pants yet, or even 1 size up in regular jeans. It's just my tummy is getting very tight in my jeans and I'm usually losening it up by using a rubber band. So does the Bella Band really work? Does it hold up the pants enough so they feel secure? Can you see it underneath your shirt? What color is better, black or white?

I have totally been wearing one for the past 2 weeks. I love it. My pants fit, but were uncomfortable in the afternoon and sitting down wasn't comfortable either.

I tried wearing it like they show by folding it over, but it would slide down and I didn't like that. I just wear it as one solid panel and it is great!

I definitely recommend so you are comfortable.

I love mine. I have a black one. I do the tuck over that one of the previous posters mentioned. I am now 24 weeks and have been able to avoid buying maternity pants so far!

I got one from Motherhood maternity and I hate it, it's really flimsy, not tight enough and therefore doesn't do a good job of actually holding anything up and not slipping.

I bought one black, one white, and still wear them once in a while when I'm wearing my regular jeans, but I still use a hair tie anyways. I find they don't stay very well, and really don't keep the pants up, but they cover up the gap from where my button doesn't reach the actual button hole.

As far as using it to keep the maternity pants up, I really like the motherhood "secret fit" belly ones, they mostly stay up pretty well, and better on the days that I remember to use my Shea & Cocoa Butter baby oil gel...

Thanks for your opinions! I think I'll get one just to try it out.

i love mine. i have one black and one white. i tuck in my pants and fold over. i didnt like the tube feeling, it felt strange to me and didn't hold as well. i haven't had to wear mine yet with this pg, but i'll be cracking them out as soon as i need to!

I have black and nude. I used it with my regular pants and felt very secure. I'm still wearing it now with my maternity pants. My regular pants are way to small, but maternity pants slide off. My b-band helps hold the maternity pants up. I think it is a very good investment. It will also come in handy as I'm getting back to pre-pg body after lo is born.
